Wild Hearts Equine Connection
Some of my best friends never say a word to me! Horses are incredibly intuitive animals that have a natural ability to connect with humans and provide unique feedback. They possess a wild spirit and a powerful heart that can inspire us to live more authentically and courageously.
At Wild Hearts, we offer Equine-Assisted Learning sessions and skill-building programs. These experiences help you settle your nervous system, face fears, break down barriers, and become more aware of your environment. Learn skills you can apply in your everyday life.
“Horses with their grace and strength, offer a beautiful presence and supportive environment for personal growth, healing and nourishment.”
What is EAL
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) offers a unique and immersive way to learn, working alongside horses in a safe and supportive environment. Each session is tailored to the individual, focusing on building awareness, emotional regulation, and real-life skills that support personal growth.
Horses are naturally honest and present. They respond to what’s real, offering immediate, non-judgemental feedback. This creates a powerful opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and develop the awareness and trust needed to navigate life with more clarity and confidence.
What We Do
During a typical equine therapy session, the client works alongside a therapist and a horse or team of horses; they may observe, groom, lead or participate in creative activities during this time. Through the client's interaction with the horse, the therapist and client explore thoughts, feelings, sensations, and memories that arise.
Check out our Sessions, where we offer a range of experiences tailored to your needs. Regardless of which option you choose, you'll have the guidance of a qualified practitioner and the support of a fantastic team of horses, all while surrounded by the beautiful, wild environment of the mountains. It's truly a unique experience that you won't want to miss!
What are the Benefits
Equine-assisted therapies have been proven effective in improving impulse control, reducing stress, building trust, and encouraging self-reflection. Thus improving the quality of relationships.
Working with calm and healthy horses can have a calming effect on our nervous systems, improve our focus and self-awareness, build confidence, and boost our self-esteem, making it an excellent option for those seeking personal growth and healing.
